The preparation 4-hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-sodium salt of 3-carboxylicesters or method of sylvite
The present invention relates to by the initial preparation of the third dicarboxylester 4-hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-sodium salt of 3-carboxylicesters or method of sylvite.
The preparation of known hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-3-carboxylicesters, its corresponding tautomer or an alkali metal salt is usingd and as the purposes (WO2011/018180 of the component of synthesis of biologically active compound; WO2009/036899; J.Chem.Soc., Perkin Trans.1,1985, the 1567 to 1576 pages; Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft (1911), 44,1759-1765).Yet currently known methods has shortcoming hereinafter described.
WO201I/018180 described the preparation of hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-3-carboxylicesters and wherein describe synthetic initial by malonic ester.Malonic ester and halo Acetyl Chloride 98Min. react (referring to reaction scheme 1) under the existence of alkali.After adding water, obtain required 4-hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-3-carboxylicesters.Select alkali in order to can make malonic ester take off proton, form thus the enolate of malonic ester, and then by the acetylize of halo Acetyl Chloride 98Min. compound.Suitable alkali is especially formula M (OR
a)
bAlkoxide, wherein M is Na
+, K
+, M
g 2+, b is 1 or 2 and R
aFor methyl or ethyl.Sodium methylate is to be pointed out that preferred.In case cyclization completes, the inorganic salt that namely obtain required product and obtain as by product (, if use sodium alkoxide as alkali, being for example, NaCl).
Reaction scheme 1
As truly likely, especially, when it be NaCl, can only pass through the extremely technology realization of high complexity from reaction mixture, removing inorganic salt, fabulous water-soluble because the compound of formula (P-I) and (P-I ') has.Distillation is infeasible, because the compound of formula (P-I) and (P-I ') decomposes and discharges CO under relatively-high temperature
2.Therefore inorganic salt can't be removed.It is introduced in subsequent reactions and can only the compound of formula (P-I) and/or (P-I ') further reaction after completing, just can remove.
WO2009/036899 has described 4-hydroxyl-2-oxo-2, synthesizing of the salt of 5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylicesters, it is initial and wherein use chloracetate and pure alkali by malonic ester sylvite, sodium methylate for example, the salt (referring to reaction scheme 2) for preparing corresponding 4-hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-3-carboxylicesters.This reaction does not generate any inorganic salt that must bring subsequent reactions into, but should reaction use dimethyl formamide or N,N-DIMETHYLACETAMIDE as solvent, and at first they be expensive, and next is difficult to remove and only can reclaims difficultly.
Reaction scheme 2:
The step 1 of above-mentioned reaction is esterification, and wherein Repone K obtains and needs subsequently from reaction mixture, separating as by product.In step 2, ring-closure reaction occurring and generate required compound (Q-II), and wherein transesterification reaction can occur, make the compound separation of formula (Q-II ').Transesterification reaction in step 2 can contain the R that steric hindrance is arranged by use
fThe alkoxide of group (for example tertiary butyl alkoxide) is inhibited.The compound of formula (Q-IV) is solid, commercially available maybe can by the preparation of known method (referring to J.Am.Chem.Soc.1944, No.66, the 1286th page; EP-A-950653; WO2008/150487).
Described reaction is unfavorable for that technical scale uses, because its malonic ester sylvite by the formula (Q-IV) that exists with solid form of costliness is initial.In the situation that prepared by technical scale, using solid is fundamentally undesirable as initiator, because these solids are difficult to carry out technical finesse and often will change solvent, and the technology very complex that must cause reaction to carry out.
By preparation 4-hydroxyl-2-oxo-2, the currently known methods of the salt of 5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylicesters or corresponding enol form tautomer is initial, the problem that produces now is to prepare in the mode of cheap and simple these materials, so that the method also can be used for technical scale, prepares required compound.Also wish to find a kind of method, it carries out continuously at least partly and wherein avoids the intricately separation of intermediates.Cheap method be interpreted as meaning those due to initial substance be for example cheapness and/or toxicological harmless and the method that need not any large expenditure can carry out, described method needs less method steps or even in the mode of " one pot reaction ", carries out (namely without separation of intermediates), and/or the sodium salt of required 4-hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-3-carboxylicesters or sylvite obtain with sufficiently high productive rate and purity.A kind of like this method is provided also advantageously, and it has conservation of resources, for example wherein consumes energy still less, and/or has selectivity, this means the by product that only forms less degree.
A kind of 4-hydroxyl for preparing general formula (I)-2-oxo-2 have been found at present, 5-dihydrofuran-the sodium salt of 3-carboxylicesters or the method for sylvite, described method has avoided the mode that above-mentioned shortcoming also can be simple and cheap to carry out, especially because it does not need complicated intermediate to separate and/or purifying.The method does not use any solid as initiator yet, can save solvent expensive and inconvenience.The method both can be carried out continuously, also can carry out in batches.
Known hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-3-carboxylicesters also can be used as tautomer and exists, and namely the form with 2,4-dioxo tetrahydrofuran (THF)-3-carboxylicesters exists.Any description about hydroxyl-2-oxo-DHF-3-carboxylicesters also comprises corresponding tautomer.
